👀 | We've been working hard this week at @HitchinTownFC! Three covered terraces chamfered behind the goal to achieve optimum pitch views whichever stand you're in.
Steelwork is now complete ready for sheeting.

What an inspiring day, talking to the amazing families of Hitchin! Sold our first books, but more importantly had conversations and connections that made us feel our little bookshop will do some good for our community. Loved it! #hitchin #hitchintown Thank you @SharedHitchin 💛

We heard at #PeoplesCovidInquiry that all GP records will go to an NHS data store on 1.7. Who knows what will happen to it there. Big business is already after it
You can opt out, but only if you know it’s happening.
Pls RT if you don’t want your data moved without your consent

Michael Rosen - I was on an ITU ward that was so short of #PPE it was receiving 2nd hand kit, some of which had blood on it
Meanwhile Hancock insists there was ‘never a shortage of PPE’
Pls RT if you believe Michael R rather than Matt H

This is Windmill Hill in Hitchin this morning. Warmer weather has brought more visitors to our parks, but unfortunately littering has also increased.
Enjoy your visit but please dispose of your litter responsibly in a bin, or take it home.

"There's no point in me calling for the Health Secretary to be sacked or to resign; Boris Johnson doesn't have the strength of character to do the former and Matt Hancock doesn't have the integrity to do the latter." #whatkeirshouldhavesaid

According to a study by the London School of Economics, 50 years worth of tax cuts contributed absolutely nothing to GDP growth and employment rates across 18 nations that tried 'trickle down economics', since the wealthiest hoard far more than they spend.
